Dad Tip #56: Go Ask Your Mother
WTMG's Jordan Hawes writes: "Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator is a mediocre, short, and shallow visual novel experience thats only saving grace are its characters and dad puns. The dialogue choices are hit and miss and the mini games seem like last second add-on’s to breakup the monotony of some of the long drawn out dialogue sections. I experienced a few good laughs with the puns, but the overall package disappoints and in no way swayed me towards the visual novel genre. At least it tried something new with the man beef content, which is something that is not seen in the gaming industry and I gotta give them that."

Hunie Pop, without a doubt
edit: Wait - this site puts it at #4 on the list but can't get its name right?!
Heartwarming; that’s the word to describe Dream Daddy. It’s a feelgood game, from its tongue-in-cheek Dream Weaver-esque theme tune to its message of acceptance and generally being excellent to one another. The entire game lives on its writing, which is universally excellent and works on multiple levels whether you’re a parent or the child of one. On the surface it’s a hot dad dating game – the swirly logo font and colourful presentation lean into that – but there’s real heart to the stories here, with textured characters dealing with a multitude of situations life throws at them. If you’re after rock-hard anime abs and mechanics that promise 'innovative' use of HD rumble, you may be disappointed with Dream Daddy. For everyone else, it’s a good-natured, good-humoured visual novel with themes of acceptance and love that’ll warm the cockles of the coldest heart.
Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator is a game where you play as a Dad and your goal is to meet and romance other hot Dads.
Mmmm man beef
I don't understand the appeal of this game. Gay dating simulator woohoo.
